[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I firmly believe that someone who is frantically calculating how much he'd spent on my coffee and cake at first date will be less involved parent and partner down the road [/quote]

It’s not the first coffee. It’s every dinner, every show, every non-trivial expenditure. Is the woman who makes as much as the man does being a parasite or is she being an adult?[/quote]

I would say it's him every dinner, just because [b]alternating checks or splitting takes away the romance. [/b]It's the person who initiates the experience (a show, a non-trivial experience) who pays. I absolutely did get tickets for shows when I was dating. My exH didn't like it though: he was making about 200K and I was making 80K when we dated. He insisted on paying the largest share of these expenses[/quote]

This is fully opinion, not fact. And it’s not surprising that you hold this opinion, since it benefits you financially. I wonder how romantic men find this…[/quote]

It didn't really benefit me financially dating my husband to be. My income was 3 times less than his, relative my income I spent about same on dating. I still contributed some, and he wanted to take trips together, he lived in one city and I lived in another. I paid for my train tickets (over 100 EUR round trip) to visit him on weekends; I bought tickets for museums when he visited me; I cooked nicer meals for two of us vs a simple Chinese take out what I would have done being single.
